Nutrition with a mission now available at Target

MISSION, Kan. -- Next time consumers reach for a satisfying snack at the store, they will be able to choose a treat that fills their stomachs and their hearts.

This Bar Saves Lives is a non-GMO, gluten-free and fair trade gourmet snack bar now available at Target and other retailers nationwide.

Actor Ryan Devlin, co-founder and CEO of the snack bar company, created the company after traveling to Africa on a humanitarian trip and seeing the tragedy of severe malnutrition in children throughout the region.

This year, the company surpassed the 1 million mark and has now sent more than 1.2 million life-saving food packets to children in need -- enough to help save more than 8,500 lives.

Flavors include Wild Blueberry Pistachio, Dark Chocolate Cherry & Sea Salt and Madagascar Vanilla Almond & Honey. The company also offers a line of nut-free kids bars called This Kid Saves Lives, which come in Wild Berry and Chocolate Chip flavors.
